Chapter 31: Aunt Love

Gu Qingcheng came to Yuxiu Palace early in the morning, but Feng Zuo Zhaoyi was already waiting in the main hall, looking forward to it.

"Auntie."

Although Gu Tingcheng privately called Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and did not call him Niangniang, he still wanted the number of courtesies, and respectfully gave Niangniang a gift.

"Allure, you're here." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi took Gu Qingcheng's hand and looked left and right.

"Auntie, what's wrong?" Gu Qingcheng was a little stunned.

"No, it's just that I haven't seen you enter the palace for the past few days, and my aunt thinks something is going on in Allure, but my aunt is worried about death." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said worriedly.

"Auntie, don't worry, don't you think Allure is good?" Gu Qingcheng's smile was bright.

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi patted his chest to calm himself.

bowed slightly, and then ordered someone to serve tea and breakfast:

"You haven't eaten breakfast yet, your aunt has prepared it for you."

Gu Qingcheng was a little flattered, and said with a wry smile:

"My aunt is really an unpredictable prophet, not only knowing that Allure entered the palace today, but also knowing that Allure didn't have breakfast."

The palace people put exquisite pastries on them, and the dim sum in the palace is rich and diverse, which is comparable to ordinary people.

"Miss Allure," Xia He introduced, "this is pea yellow, this is rouge cold cake, this is crystal osmanthus cake, this is jujube paste yam cake, this is sugar steamed cheese ......"

"Such beautiful pastries, especially this jujube paste yam cake, made like a peach blossom.

The red and white are distinct, and the color is attractive, so you want to eat it when you see it. Gu Qingcheng looked at those pastries and said happily.

hugged my aunt again, and smiled softly: "My aunt is really considerate, she doesn't even know if Allure likes to eat pastries, and she is ready early in the morning." ”

"Our mother is an unpredictable prophet, but since three days ago, she has prepared breakfast for Miss Allure.

Seeing that Miss Allure didn't come in the morning, lunch was prepared for Miss Allure.

Lunch didn't come, and dinner was prepared for Miss Allure.

Who knew that Miss Allure hadn't come these days.

Early this morning, I ordered the palace people to prepare breakfast and wait for the young lady here.

I'm afraid that it won't suit Miss Allure's taste, so I made all kinds of pastries myself. Xia He smiled.

Gu Qingcheng burst into tears all of a sudden, looking at his mother as if he felt the warmth of his mother.

The grievances and fears in the prison that day, the nightmares of the past few days, coupled with the harm of Liu Rushuang in the morning, and the mother's thoughtfulness to her, all kinds of sadness and grievances and warmth, came to my heart together, and tears flowed down.

"Allure, what's wrong with you?" Feng Zuo Zhaoyi came to Gu Qingcheng's side in horror and wiped her tears in distress.

“…… Oh, it's okay, it's okay. Gu Tingcheng hurriedly shook his hand, choked in his throat and said: "How can Allure be virtuous, let my aunt treat Allure like a child, Allure is just moved......"

"Silly boy." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi hugged her and patted her back gently, like a loving mother, with a gentle voice, "Allure is my aunt's only relative, my aunt is not good to Allure, who else can I be good to?" ”

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi feigned anger at Xia He again: "It's all your mouthy little girl, so I can't feel at ease when I have a breakfast in the city." ”

"Mother, please forgive me." Xia He hurriedly knelt down.

"You girl, get up. Will this palace really blame you? Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said gently.

"That's it, Xia He, my aunt has such a good temper, how can she really be angry with you." Gu Qingcheng also burst into tears and laughed.

Other palace maids, adding tea and water, waited diligently.

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and Gu Tingcheng ate breakfast, she didn't eat much herself, but she picked the most exquisite clips for Gu Tingcheng and asked her to try, and she couldn't wait for Gu Tingcheng to eat all the things on the table.

"Auntie, this jujube paste yam cake is delicious, fragrant, sweet and soft and glutinous, and the most important thing is that it looks attractive." Gu Qingcheng ate pastries with taste.

Then he gave Feng Zuo Zhaoyi a piece of jujube paste and yam cake: "Auntie, you can eat it too, it's really delicious." ”

"Miss Allure, this jujube paste yam cake was made for you by our mother, and it took a lot of effort." Xia He smiled.

"Really?" Gu Tingcheng was even more surprised, "That aunt will teach Allure in the future, and Allure will learn it, and I will honor my aunt in the future and do it for my aunt." ”

"This jujube paste yam cake is eaten by Beiyan, and my aunt's grandmother taught my aunt to make it. Later, my aunt slowly taught Allure. ”

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's gentle smile swept through Gu Qingcheng's heart like a warm spring breeze.

"Beiyan is famous? Or did my aunt's grandmother teach my aunt to do it? No wonder it's so delicious. Gu Qingcheng nodded.

Taste it carefully, the taste is exactly the same as that made by the nurse.

"My grandmother also often makes this jujube paste yam cake for Allure, saying that her daughter's family is good for her body.

My aunt's cooking tastes exactly the same as my nurse's.

Could it be that my nurse has also been to Beiyan? Gu Qingcheng groaned while eating.

looked at my aunt suspiciously.

"My aunt knows that Allure likes to eat this jujube paste yam cake." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi smiled.

As if he hadn't heard Gu Tingcheng's doubtful words, he didn't answer Gu Tingcheng's question, but he just gave her jujube paste and yam cake.

“…… Aunt knows? Gu Qingcheng was a little more stunned.

“…… Oh, auntie, guess your daughter's family, she likes to eat these sweet pastries. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said with a smile.

"Auntie also tasted it?" Gu Tingcheng gave her a clip.

How can my aunt hurt herself more than the nurse, the nurse raised herself, and that kind of love is needless to say.

But my aunt is Zuo Zhaoyi's mother, how can she treat herself like a mother.

"When my aunt sees that you are eating happily, my aunt is happy. In the future, if Allure comes to accompany her aunt to eat every day, her aunt will be happier. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi ate the pastry and said.

My aunt seems to be so gentle at all times, and that kind of gentle love is like a loving mother.

Gu Tingcheng thought, if his mother is here, will his mother love him like an aunt?

"Okay, in the future, Allure will try to accompany my aunt every day, for fear of hindering my aunt's love with Your Majesty." Gu Tingcheng said mischievously.

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's smile slowly faded, and her tone became indifferent:

"Aunt and Your Majesty - they are both old husbands and wives, what else is there to love or not.

There are three thousand beauties in the harem, and His Majesty is also a rare time to come to Yuxiu Palace. ”

"My aunt doesn't look old at all, no worse than those harem beauties."

In Gu Tingcheng's eyes, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi is well-mannered, gentle and virtuous, and can be called the mother of the world.

"Don't talk about my aunt, Allure, why haven't I seen you enter the palace these days?

My aunt was sweating for you.

That day, I saw that you assigned tasks to each palace, in an orderly manner, and quite like a strategizing female general, which was really unexpected by my aunt. ”

Thinking of Gu Qingcheng's performance that day, Feng Zuo Zhaoyi's smile returned.

"I went to the biggest food market a few days ago and found out the prices of the supplies I needed.

Later, some things were delayed, so I didn't enter the palace.

The people who have gone out in the purchasing division in the past few days should also have results.

In a few days, the menu of the imperial dining room should also be prepared.

Wait a minute, I will have to report the menu to the imperial dining room, and the purchasing department will quote me the price, and when it is set, let them buy it. ”

Gu Qingcheng didn't dare to tell his aunt that he had been asleep for three days, lest she be worried.

Feng Zuo Zhaoyi nodded silently, this kid is really calm and capable.

Gu Tingcheng thought for a while, and then said, "Auntie, can you accompany Allure to listen to the dishes of the Imperial Dining Room?"

After all, my aunt has been in the palace for many years, and she understands the tastes of His Majesty and the ancestors, so she can help Allure give some advice. ”

"Okay, my aunt will accompany you to see it." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi did not shirk and nodded yes.

No one wants Gu Tingcheng to hold the ancestor's birthday banquet more than her.

So they went to the West Hall to meet the royal chefs in the Imperial Dining Room.

Everyone chose the menu together, and asked the head of the imperial dining room to report the menu to the Heart Cultivation Palace, so that His Majesty could approve it before making a final decision.

Gu Qingcheng's identity is not to meet His Majesty casually.

Of course, Zhongchang Zong Ai will not let her see His Majesty easily.

Gu Qingcheng beat his apprentice Jia Zhou, and he hadn't settled accounts with her yet.

How easy it is to see His Majesty!

Gu Tingcheng met with the purchasing company again and compared the prices.

With the Liwei of Gu Qingcheng that day, the palace people of the purchasing division did not dare to make a mistake.

After a few days, I really shopped around, and then came back to give Gu Qingcheng a quote.

And the palace maids of Yuxiu Palace also gave Gu Qingcheng a reward, and the other bureaus who were responsible for cleaning and cleaning the tableware and utensils of the wine banquet did not dare to slack off, and were doing things meticulously......

As for entertainment programs, Gu Tingcheng and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi went to meet Empress Helian and ask for her opinion.

The Empress Yikun Palace is magnificent, and the specifications and furnishings are all more expensive than other palaces.

The dragon and phoenix incense tripod in the center is burning with spices, overflowing with fragrance, lingering, and fragrant for a long time.

The crisp fragrance is refreshing......

It's Long Yanxiang!

Empress Helian and her two younger sisters, Helian Chongrong and Helian nobles, are sitting in Yikun Palace talking.

Queen Helian is over forty years old, although the charm still exists, after all, the years are not forgiving.

The queen's second sister, Helian Guiren, has a wooden personality and an average appearance, so she has never been favored by His Majesty, and her position has not been promoted much.

However, her little sister Helian is full, not only is she more than ten years younger than Queen Helian, after all, she is in her prime, and she is like a ripe cherry with a smile.

is also very favored by His Majesty, and has a little prince, so the second sister Helian Gui who entered the palace earlier than her has a higher rank.

Gu Tingcheng and Feng Zuo Zhaoyi came in, and they greeted each other.

"Feng Zuo Zhaoyi, you and this Gu Qingcheng are very close." Empress Helian looked at Feng Zuo Zhaoyi and Gu Qingcheng coldly.

"Your Majesty has a decree, the harem must cooperate with Allure to hold the birthday banquet of the ancestors, and the concubines will not dare to slack off." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said lightly.

"Listening to the palace people chewing on the root of their tongues and saying that you are aunts and nephews in private, what kind of relatives are you?" Empress Helian is neither yin nor yang.

"The queen mother laughed, the relatives of the concubines died many years ago." Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said lightly.

When Empress Helian heard this, her eyebrows raised slightly, and a sneer hung on the corner of her mouth.

After an instant, there was also a sense of sympathy: her Hu Xia Kingdom and her mother's family were not exterminated by His Majesty!

She closed her eyes slightly in distress for a while.

"The concubine and Allure just hit it off at first sight, and they like this child very much.

The concubine has no children and no daughters, and it is rare to have a child she likes, so she is close to comfort and be lonely. Feng Zuo Zhaoyi said indifferently.

Empress Helian finally lost interest in their relationship and seemed unimpressed:

"Then you are here—"

"Queen Niangniang, Allure is here this time, it is about entertainment programs, I want to ask Niangniang to see if Niangniang has any requirements or opinions on the birthday banquet." Gu Qingcheng said respectfully.

Empress Helian bowed slightly: "Every year, the birthday banquet of the ancestors and His Majesty is nothing more than listening to the opera, lion dance, drumming and dancing, nothing new.

Gu Tingcheng, as the host of the birthday banquet, do you have any fresh entertainment programs? ”

Gu Qingcheng thought about it and said, "Queen Mother, can there be a princess or a county lord who is willing to dance for the ancestors?" ”

"Ling'er of this palace, Princess Shanggu, danced for her ancestors last year, and this year should be no exception.

I heard that the younger sister of the hussar general Li Jun, Li Shuang'er, and your eldest sister Gu Chuyao dance well, and they are one of the few in Pingcheng.

You can add these two reports to the entertainment program. Empress Helian said slowly.

"No, mother." Gu Qingcheng replied respectfully.

Empress Helian thought for a moment and said:

"By the way, two years ago, I heard the princess say that King Gaoyang practiced a set of sword dances to dance on the 80th birthday of his ancestor.

I don't know if King Gaoyang still has the leisure to practice dancing after the prince leaves.

You add this as well, and go back to the palace to send someone to implement it with the crown princess. ”

"Okay, the courtiers have written it down." Gu Qingcheng said respectfully.

"Gu Qingcheng, you are so young, you are responsible for such a major birthday, aren't you afraid that if you have a slight mistake, your life will be lost?" Empress Helian asked with a slight raised eyebrow.

The noble and cold, Queen Helian looked at Gu Qingcheng with a sneer.

"The holy order is difficult to disobey, since it is appointed by His Majesty, Allure does not dare to disobey.

I can only work hard and do my best, hoping to do a good job on the birthday of my ancestors. Gu Qingcheng said.

Looking at the cold Empress Helian again, she smiled again:

"Moreover, with the guidance of the queen's mother, I expect the birthday banquet to go smoothly."

"Good, at a young age, courage is commendable!" Empress Helian bowed.

Looking at Gu Tingcheng with a calm face, she said with the mood of watching a good show:

"This palace will wait and see how you do your best to organize the birthday banquet of your ancestors."

At this time, the palace maid of Wanshou Palace went to Yikun Palace to find Gu Qingcheng.

She first went to Yuxiu Palace, and when she heard that Gu Chengcheng came to Yikun Palace, she found this again.

"Miss Allure, the mille-feuille cake medicinal food made by Imperial Doctor Li these days, the ancestor has eaten very little, and said that it is not the taste made by Miss Allure.

Yesterday, the ancestor didn't take the medicine.

Imperial Doctor Li was so anxious that he wanted to ask Miss Allure to make medicinal food for her ancestor again. ”

"Okay, then the queen's mother, full of mothers, noble women, the courtiers have retired."

Gu Tingcheng said goodbye to Empress Helian and Helian Furong Helian nobles.

"Go ahead."

Empress Helian looked at Gu Qingcheng's back, a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth, thoughtful......

"Sister Queen, Your Majesty is really strange, how can you listen to the words of Lu Qingluo's demon concubine.

Let a country girl who has never seen the world handle the 80th birthday of her ancestors. Helian said with disdain on his face.

"This palace also wants to know, what kind of medicine is sold in the green radish gourd!" Empress Helian's eyes gathered, "I actually snatched the work of this palace!" ”

Helian looked at her two elder sisters with a smile, and the queen mother was cold.

The faint smile on the corner of Helian nobleman's mouth was indifferent from beginning to end.

"That's the most grand birthday, congratulations from all directions, if you miss a little, you will lose Da Wei's face!" Helian shook his head again.

"Sister, don't worry, Lu Qingluo, that demon concubine, only asked for 100,000 silver taels for Gu Qingcheng, doesn't she have the heart to want that country girl to die?" Empress Helian sneered.

"Sister Queen is saying—" Helian raised his eyebrows, as if he had realized.

Although Lu Qingluo wanted Gu Qingcheng's head to land, she didn't think about it carefully, the country girl was the doll she personally set for her son.

It was also her recommendation to organize the 80th birthday of her ancestors.

The 80th birthday of the ancestor has attracted the attention of the whole world, how grand it is, how can there be a little negligence.

Of course, Gu Qingcheng will not escape death, but she Lu Qingluo, won't she also suffer the pond fish? Empress Helian said coldly.

"Sister Queen, do you want to help Lu Qingluo?" Helian also smiled gloomily.

Queen Helian said intritently: "Sister, don't worry, let's watch a good show." ”

Empress Helian and Helian had a sinister smile on their faces.

The faint smile on Helian nobleman's face had all disappeared, replaced by a faint sadness.
